Campers gain valuable STEM skills through a unique blend of NASA and SpaceX-inspired missions, 3D printing, and robotics, culminating in tangible take-home projects.
Space Explorers Academy offers an immersive week-long experience inspired by NASA and SpaceX, designed to build serious STEM skills through hands-on activities. Campers will delve into the exciting world of space exploration by designing and 3D printing their own spaceships, which they can then take home. The curriculum includes learning about rocketry and conducting virtual rocket launches using Roblox. Participants will also engage in building and remote controlling Mars rovers to complete various challenges. The program provides valuable learning opportunities in physics, rocketry, astronomy, and math, with daily new missions and challenges tailored to different skill levels. Campers will also learn about astronomy and constellations, even creating their own constellation projector. The camp emphasizes experiential learning, project creation, and skill development in areas related to space and technology.
A typical day involves new space missions and challenges, including activities like 3D printing spaceships, launching rockets with Roblox, building and controlling Mars rovers, and learning about astronomy.
This camp is best for elementary-aged students (7-11) who are enthusiastic about space, technology, and hands-on STEM activities.
